Overpopulation could create too many people looking for jobs at the same time, and leaving many people unemployed. Also, many people looking for work puts downward pressure on wages. Similarly, overpopulation could led to more people looking for housing than there are housing units, leaving many to crowd and live in near homeless situations. High housing demand would also increase prices.
Homelessness would then result from the unemployment, low wages, high housing prices, and housing crowding, because many families and individuals would get pushed out of the normal housing market and into squatter communities and other "homeless like" accommodations.
What do we do to try and stop overpopulation and homelessness?
Overpopulation often is self controlling and is the reason for baby booms followed by baby busts. It also drives emigration from overpopulated to less populated. Other policies to promote lower population growth include education, and contraception.
How does homelessness affect our cities?
Homelessness affects the quality of life in cities, can create unhealthy living environments, and lead to excess costs to society for the health, crime and shelter costs. Also, the people who are homeless suffer dehumanization, violence, and indignities. Thank you for your time.
